My father, who was very much a racist, used to make derisive comments
about people living in "shacks with Cadillacs". Meaning: how can people
living in government (Section 8, low-income) housing afford to drive
luxury sedans? The tricked-out rims on some of those cars cost upwards
of $400 each. Necessity? Don't think so!

Unemployment Insurance (UI) doesn't go on forever. In most states you
can only collect unemployment if you worked for a specified period of
time for an employer who paid into UI. UI is intended for people who
are *able* to work but lost (not quit) their job. They're still
expected to continue looking for work and those benefits will eventually
run out. (Covid-19 has sort of changed the rules a bit.)
 
SSDI (Disability) is a federal program, for people who can't work or who
can only perform limited work due to physical limitations. Even then,
you have to have worked continuously for at least 3 years before you can
receive SSDI, with medical proof of said disability.
 
Of course there are always people who will find ways around. Getting
paid paid off the books to keep getting a check is one such maneuver.

Gawd! That thing's as big as an eggplant! (even a Japanese eggplant).
Looks like it would be tough and fibrous.

This piece of junk passed without Republican votes. Nothing was put in
there sothat the Republicans would agree to it. This piece of junk is
Democrat all the way.

During Obama's term, when the UI benefits ran out, the SSDI rolls
skyrocketed. He was so proud!

Let's just not call it pizza. I think we should all be rebelling at the
idea of changing recipes to the point where the fairly resemble the
original item. A good example is the Martina, a classic cocktail of gin
and dry Vermouth. You can vary the amount of gin and the garnish. It is
debatable whether it can be made with Vodka. Nowadays, people are making
all sorts of strange lady cocktails and calling them martinis because
they are serving them in martini glasses. It is time to stand up and
say no.

My son used to make that when he was into low carbs. It was okay. It's just a baked food dish. There's no reason to compare it to anything except baked cauliflower mash with stuff on top. He also used to make spaghetti squash with tomato sauce. Again, it is what it is. A vegetable dish with sauce. These dishes are just fine - if you're into vegetables.

Most, if not all, foods that are called "Hawaiian" and contain pineapple are not Hawaiian.

Naw. I am betting that you will say more about it. You have a need to
keep that little drama in your life going, and you don't want to
disappoint your fans.

It's that Bothell bubble again. She used the word "evict" but since he
is not a tenant paying her monthly rent, it does not constitute an
eviction. It's an attempt to get an interloper off her property.
Covid-19 or not, if she truly wanted him out they'd have to tell him to
move along. Unless, of course, he's tested positive for the virus.
Then she could shove him to the "backhouse" where he started and insist
he stay out of her house.
 
I'm pretty darned sure if some guy decided to pitch a tent in my back
yard and I called the cops they wouldn't say "You can't ask him to
leave, we're in the middle of a pandemic!"

The USPS has the same rules in every state, the home owner is
responsible for the mailbox, unless you can prove that the postal
carrier ran into it with their vehical... or you can prove that
someone else wrecked your mailbox and then sue them.
When my country mailbox post was sheared off by the county plow they
admitted to it as it wasn't just mine. The same thing occurs every
winter and the county road crew makes the repair. Of course they're
in no hurry, was two weeks before they got to it. Four P/U trucks
arrived with nine big burly guys. They jacked the old broken off post
out of the ground and inserted a new wooden post. Fence post jacks
are a very common tool around here, I have two of them. However they
forgot to bring the board that attaches to the top of the post for
mounting the box. Rather than wait several days for them to pring a
new piece of lumber I went to my barn and retrieved a piece of lumber
and they sawed off a piece to length, with my bowsaw... they forgot
their saw too. The mailbox wasn't damaged. it was laying half buried
in the snow some ten feet from the post. It took that crew more than
3 hours to mount my mailbox. While they were working a few Highway
Dept. trucks with supervisors stopped to examine the top secret job.
It was close to noon when they departed for lunch. A lot of taxpayor
dollars were wasted on my mailbox. At least I gave them something
meamingful to do or they'd return to their depot and hang out doing
nothing. I see those guys around all the time, mostly in town at the
deli ordering sandwiches.

"Found a peanut, found a peanut, found a peanut just now, just now I
found a peanut, found a peanut just now." Goes on to say it was rotten
but "ate it anyway".
 
How about this one? "The worms crawl in the worms crawl out, from your
stomach and out your mouth. Don't ever laugh when a hearse goes by or
you will be the next to die..." That one has origins from soldiers from
the Crimean Wars and WWI but as a kid we used to sing it.
 
And
 
"Ta ra ra boom-de-ay, there is no school today. The teacher passed
away, they found her in the bay. When they fished her out, she smelled
like sauerkraut. Ta ra ra boom-de-ay, there is no school today."
 
Cheerful kids songs. LOL

The song was written by folkie songwriter/singer, Tom Glazer. There are an additional 3 verses.

I'm pretty sure none of us would want him to take care of our parents.
 
He doesn't understand the word "retire". If he just means quit working
and start collecting Social Security, he can do that at age 62. Of
course he won't get much per month because apparently he hasn't worked
most of his adult life. Seems like a "professional student". Meaning,
never actually did much but kept going to school.
 
He got a nursing degree (censure, lost job). Got a computer degree in
yester-year. Didn't make a living at it but hey, he can put purple
stickers from a record shop all over his keyboard tray.
 
He lived in a house with students renting from the evil Chinese
landlord. He was the oldest guy in the bunch. Probably on an allowance
by his father before he died. Father dies, Sister has control. He
bought the same damn house from the Cheap Chinese Landlord (remember the
rants about Chinese Landlord and China everything??!) to rent to
students. Indian students. He's not stuck in a rut, nooo...
 
He's playing catch-up now, trying to rack up work credits so he'll
actually have some money when he "retires". Those "best housemates"
don't give a rip about what happens to him when he's 62, 65, 67.
 
The government does keep track of these things, dontcha know. He
apparently let his taxes slide for for years. He was surprised he had
to pay property taxes. He was surprised he had to get Occupancy
Permits. House inspections. Homeowners insurance. Repairs. Surprise!
 
Maybe he thought paying a djembe and having a bunch of Indian housemates
would render him invisible. Or he's simply ignorant, just thought all
that money was free and the house would pay for itself. Funny how
things don't work out that way.

Restoring is bringing back those earth tones. Lavender is not
restoration. You won't see those colors used in historic buildings if
they were not there in the beginning.

That'so true, Ed. Communities have standards for a reason: property
values. I've always thought his house has a very nice exterior, a
1930's brick craftsman bungalow style. He's f'd it up with the lavender
porch and pink and purple deck. It doesn't fit the neighborhood. He's
still trying to play "hippie" even though he's too young to have been one.

Depends on the evidence. Real evidence, not something possibly pulled
out of the DA's ass to get a conviction. Juror is a serious
responsibility and I would do my best to be fair and only convict on
hard evidence.

There are many flavors/aromas of EVOOs depending on type of olive and
the extraction method employed.... some are a neutral flavor, and
some are strongly flavored, and everything inbetweeen. I don't care
for the strongly flavored types (typically estate type), those are not
used for cooking as the flavor and aroma you're paying extra for
disapates by heating. I mostly buy the neutral flavored ones from
Walmart and BJs as those are from CA olives, they are inexpensive but
true to form and I'm not paying for a fancy schmancy bottle and label.
The imported EVOOs may not be of the highest quality but their prices
are highest.

That is the level of service that people paid for decades ago. People
sent a lot of letters. They didn't have phones and email, so they wrote
letters. Heck, I twice daily mail delivery, and once on Saturday. When
we moved here in 1977 we had rural mail delivery on Saturday. They
polled us to see if we wanted to maintain it. Everyone I know wanted to
keep it, so the cancelled it.
 
We still get mail delivered to our mail box on the road. People who had
door to door delivery still get it in most places, but for 30-40 years
now, new neighbourhoods have not been offered door to door delivery.
They put in one big communal box on a street and everyone has go and get
their mail there.
